Bioperl: off topic Beowulf question

[Alessandro Guffanti]

Hi. The Swiss EMBNet node does have a C program for managing
a small Blast Linux cluster. Judging from the speed of
their Blast server it is quite effective 
(http://www.ch.embnet.org/software/bBLAST.html).
There is a list of contacts at
http://www.ch.embnet.org/pages/contacts.html
